Meet the men of the Birmingham RTMC…Bobcat is good at managing the workin’ girls in Chattanooga. When the Birmingham chapter is decimated during battle, they put out a call for help, and Bobcat is sent to manage their strip club. It turns out, the dancers are divas and the waitresses are angry, and managing a titty bar is nothing like managing the RTMC Motor Hotel back home.Tess McKnight is a … home.
Tess McKnight is a highly-successful, tough-as-nails criminal attorney. She doesn’t have time for fools or idiots, but the RTMC is one of her biggest legal clients, so she has to spend time with the new manager of Blaze to make sure he doesn’t screw everything up.
She’s a mongoose and he’s a cat. These kinds of sparks aren’t supposed to fly between them.

What a great story. I love the match up here between these two formidable people. Bobcat and Tess are great personalities on their own so when they come together the sparks start flying immediately. As with the previous book they have great sexy chemistry and they also have a deep emotional connection. I’m loving how the RTMC is handling this new world they find themselves in. Can’t wait for the next book.
Bobcat was an excellent second book in the new Birmingham series. Tess is a strong woman that can take care of herself and does but can open herself for the right man. Bobcat there to help out Birmingham as a favor but . . . You going to have to read the book to find out the rest its a great read and a little different from some of the other couples but a really good story.
I love the characters that Candace creates, her heroes are alphas to the nth degree and Bobcat is no different. He meets the MC’s attorney, Tess and she does something to his cat, but she is a mongoose and once they start on a roller coaster romance, will their animals like each other.
I was glued to the pages, especially when it came to Scout, Tess beloved pet, won’t go into too much details as I don’t want to spoil the story, but Scout is one of my favorites parts of the story. Of course, the storyline is so engrossing, and the power struggle between Bobcat and Tess was amazing to see, how they fall in love is even more powerful.
Bobcat’s story can be read standalone, you will see a lot of characters from other series and that just in itself is always a bonus for me.
Sensually magical is how I would sum up this romance. The second book in this new series is more playful and at times, mischievous than the first. Sometimes, I wonder if Ms. Blevins is writing books just for me. It feels this way because I loved so many things about this book. For those who have never read a Ms. Blevins book, this can be read as a standalone. Warning, this may cause a sudden need to read the two other series that revolve around this paranormal world.
What did I love? I loved the different shifter animals. Most people think of werewolves and cats when they read of shifter stories. Dragons are popular albeit a bit less than wolves and felines. The exploration and expansion into a mongoose shifter tickles me pink. Especially when this adorable critter turns into a ferocious lawyer in human form. Although one can argue that Tess, the lawyer is cute as a button in her human form and just as ferocious in her animal form. A certain squirrel may attest to Tess’s ferocity when she is a mongoose. If there was one thing I would have liked a bit more was more mongoose and bobcat time.
The suspense part of this story added another layer of richness by creating tension and conflict in Tess’s budding relationship with Bobcat. Their courting is a clash of wills as the two test to see who is more dominant. I can appreciate this because Tess wants a male who will be able to accept her take charge attitude, wealth and ability to defend. An insecure male who exerts strength through beatings into submission or deriding her accomplishments is worthless to Tess. I can relate. Tess is a strong female who needs a partner. Is Bobcat worthy?
This dominance dance can be intense at times and softer when a reader least expects it. The subplot of recovering from a major supernatural war gives insight and depth into Bobcat’s character. His day job is one I can relate to, even if I don’t manage a strip club. It is his leadership style and how he unwinds dysfunctional behaviours of his employees to become a functional team that appeals to me. I must admit, I am envious that he canes disobedient workers and enjoys a side benefit of anal. If only…
Tess’s client issue which brings in the suspense element and why she needs bodyguards speaks to my need for justice. Sometimes, justice is not played out in the court of law and other methods are needed. The desire for those who are hypocrites to be brought down is strong within me. Tess’s decisions and actions are swift and beautiful to witness. The fallout, retaliation and subsequent brutal return volley makes my heart soar in delight. There is something so erotic and appealing about males who can protect, defend and then switch to offense.
Ms. Blevins weaves all these tantalizing elements into a tale which kept me up all night. This book is a page turner with humour, erotic kinky sweetness, stern alpha discipline and primal pleasure. This book is highly recommended to paranormal readers who love their romance with a spicy bite and sassy female lead.

I was aware of who Bobcat was from previous RTMC books but beyond the fact that he wrangled the MC’s working girls, I really didn’t know much. However, all that changed quickly when I began reading Bobcat. As he moved into taking over management of Blaze he quickly established himself as a no nonsense, “I don’t do drama” disciplinarian with a softer protective side if you followed the rules. He’s intelligent, quickly thinking and astute. He works hard and plays harder. He knew from his first meeting with the MC’s attorney, Tess McKnight, that she was special. I have to say that Tess was absolutely riveting. She’s tough, gutsy, and doesn’t suffer fools or idiots. She knows what she wants and is not hesitant to go after it. When she and Bobcat hookup try as she might to set the rules she’s no match for the intractable, Dominant. A cat and a mongoose together? Who knew it would work so well?
Candace Blevins’ “Bobcat” is book 2 in the new RTMC Birmingham series and I couldn’t be more pleased about it. I LOVED the back and forth between Bobcat and Tess. So much so that for most of the book, I was grinning or chuckling or both. And then when they do finally get together…LOVED IT! If I were to differentiate “Bobcat” from “Dementor”, I’d say that “Bobcat” is giving us much more of what it’s like in the Birmingham RTMC and I’m really enjoying those details.
It’s no secret that I enjoy paranormal romances and Candace Blevins writes some of the best out there that just checks all the boxes for me. Can’t recommend enough.
Bobcat rocks my world! He’s patient, steadfast and sexy as hell as he pursues Tess. Both are predators, but his dominance shines through as he maneuvers and patiently waits to claim Tess. It’s sexy when a man has the confidence to go after a strong woman! The heat is turning up in Birmingham! Come along for the ride. It’s looking like it’ll be as complex, hot and steamy as Chattanooga! Xoxo
I absolutely loved this book.
The story was well written and held my attention.
Bobcat and Tess had loads of steamy chemistry.
I voluntarily read and reviewed this book from
an advanced reader copy.
This is a story of opposites attracting. He’s a biker in a one percenter club. She’s a lawyer. He’s a bobcat shifter she a mongoose shifter. They are both tough as hell. She needs someone strong who isn’t a bully. Bobcat fits the bill. These two are terrific together. This is a rough sexy tale that will have you alternately sweating and cussing.
I admit, I had to look up a Mongoose to see exactly what Tess was, because while I knew what a Mongoose was, I didn’t know about Mongoose (Mongeese? Mongooses?) Anyways, what a perfect shifter to be a lawyer, I mean really, small, powerful, not afraid of anything, and loves to take down snakes. I love the cats in this world, and Bobcat was no exception. Independent, slightly cocky, and all alpha, his attraction to Tess catches him off guard. It catches her off-guard too, and takes her a bit to get things on track in her brain. Bobcat isn’t all in either, and they both treat it as a happy for now well past the time it is sliding into a happily ever after. Of course, that only makes the happy ever after all the sweeter and a perfect blend of what he needs and she needs, and of course, the house and wolf-dog already set-up for them!
I LOVE Bobcat And Tess! Welcome to the Birmingham RTMC! These two have great, explosive chemistry. The writing is solid, the characters are strong. I loved it and can’t wait for more!
Wow…Bobcat and Tess are a hot couple! Bobcat has come to Birmingham to help the RTMC run their strip club. He is only supposed to be there for a year, so he wasn’t looking to get involved with anyone. But when he met Tess, the RTMC’s lawyer, there was instant attraction. There are complications to be worked out between them and there is a situation where the supernatural community must come together to help keep everyone alive.
The author does a great job creating the world that Supernaturals live in now after the war between evil and good. So many have died and it was explained in the human world as riots. There is mention of characters from previous books that have died, but it was still easy to follow as I have not read all the books that the author has written previously.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Bobcat is on loan to the Birmingham chapter of the RTMC.
To keep their strip club running and safe from eager police, he needs the help of their house-lawyer Tess McKnight.
He, being a cat, she being a mongoose, they shouldn’t get along at all. But…., guess what. They instantly fall in lust!
But of course nothing is ever that easy and soon the whole Birmingham RTMC, parts of Chattanooga’s, and other well known characters have their hands full keeping everybody alive.
